The present petition has been filed by the wife of the respondent who has prayed for the transfer of the Hindu Marriage Act petition filed by the respondent under section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act for divorce from Betul to Chhindwara.

Digitally signed by SHYAMLEE SINGH SOLANKI Date: 2022.07.13 17:24:36 IST SAN Signature Not Verified

Learned counsel for the petitioner has taken the ground that the petitioner is facing difficulty to participate in the proceedings at district Betul as she is facing inconvenience to attend the proceedings at the Family Court, Betul, because Betul is far from Chhindwara, i.e. about 150 kilometers. However, this Court is of the opinion that the interest of justice can be served for both sides by the order given below.

The petitioner shall appear once for the purpose of mediation before the learned Trial Court at Betul. The learned Trial Court is requested to ensure that on a date fixed by it for mediation, when the petitioner appears, the mediation is conducted and not put the petitioner to continuous difficulty by keeping the said mediation proceedings pending. Thereafter, the learned Trial Court, Betul, is requested not to insist on the personal attendance of the petitioner at Trial Court, Betul, unless it is considered imperative by the learned Trial Court. The petitioner is given the liberty of getting her evidence and that of her witnesses, recorded through Video Conferencing from the Family Court, Chhindwara, itself. She is also permitted to cross-examine the respondent through video conferencing.

A copy of this order be sent to the learned Trial Court at Betul to be placed in the file of Civil Suit No.21-A/2021.

With the above, this petition is finally disposed of. C.C as per rules.
